The Master (The Submissive #8) by Tara Sue Me

Tara Sue Me’s New York Times bestselling Submissive series continues with a delicious new story that explores the thin line between pleasure and pain. . . .

She’s ready to try again. . . .

Sasha Blake is scarred from a BDSM session gone wrong, but she can’t deny how much a strong Master turns her on. Determined to overcome her fears and rejoin the Partners in Play community, she asks Abby and Nathaniel West to set her up with a Dom who can help her feel safe again as a sub. They know the very experienced Cole is exactly the kind of man who can push all of Sasha’s buttons—and she soon wants to go much faster than she had planned. . . .

Cole knows that Sasha is not the kind of submissive he needs. He wants someone who will serve him 24-7, not a part-time partner. Still, the further they go into their play, the more Cole begins to wish he could make Sasha his all the time. . . .

When forbidden desires turn into scorching action, Sasha and Cole come face-to-face with their demons—and realize their scorching relationship might be too dangerous to last. . . .

4 out of 5 stars

I thought this was a wonderful story and loved the storyline. It had a great premise with the retraining of a submissive and I loved watching these interesting characters truly connect. It was a very absorbing read.

I found Sasha fascinating. Curious, sensual, and so brave wanting to move forward from a bad experience. I loved Cole as well. Commanding but still so sweet and carrying... and oh so sexy! They had great chemistry and I loved watching their attraction grow. I loved seeing the different sides of them and really get to know them as a Dom and sub. I thought Sasha had great character development. I would have a bit more grit and detail about Cole but all in all I thought he was a well written character. This story was filled with so much heat and passion, it was awesome. And the heat? Holy HOT Batman. Swoons! Fans self! HOT!!!!

I thought the writing was pretty fantastic. There was a great build happening and I was filled with so much anticipation as the story unfolded. I really liked the details and all the characters in play, they were interesting and intriguing . I felt it was a really well rounded story and I was hooked. I've only read the first book in this series before this and now I want to go back and read the other books as well. It's a captivating and fascinating world that the author has created.

Definitely a nice hot read mixed with a good bit of emotion. I need to read more Tara Sue Me!
